MAJOR DORIAN DEAD.
End of Noted Desperado's Care,
[Cincinnati Enquirer, July 2O.l

here tomorrow i'll accordance with i'll
structions from his brother jeff Doran,
who resides at Nation, Ills Doran was
a kentuckian 10y birth and was educated
for the law. Prior to the war he lived
in Louisville, and at the breaking out of
the rebellion joined Kentucky regiment
and served in the Confederate army I'M
til the close. He participated in the
battle of Shiloh and other engagements,
and attained the rank of Major ut the
age of twenty-five.
In 1867 he killed young Whitfield at
Memphis, and from that time on his ca
reer was downward. He resided for a
long time at New Orleans and at Shrevc-
port, La. About ten years ago he killed
a man mt Denison, Texas, and was con-
fined in Jail for two years before he sue
ceeded in getting ont. His brother is
said to have spent $40, zoe on him in this
case. After his trouble was finally set
tied up he came to this place, and had
been here about nine months when the
fatal shooting took place.
[Chicago Times, July 49,
"Major" DOran, as he is commonly
called, who was fatally shot at Fort
Smith, Ark, on Sunday, was ut one time
a well known Chicago sport, and those
who remember him aIc generally of the
opinion that he has got his just deserts
at last. His reputation was that of II
thoroughly unprincipled ruilian, three
card-monte swindler, clustering bully,
a constant associate of disrcputablc wo-
men, and man who never hesitatcd to
take the most cowardly advantage of any
one against whom he might happen TO
have grudge He had probably killed
half dozen men in his time, and in ev
cry instance the deed was marked by
brutal cowardicc. His first murder was
at Memphis, Tenn, in 1867, his victim
being respectable citizen named Whit
field, brother of Colonel Whitfield, who
was at that time general solicitor of the
Southern Express Company. The two
men had some misunderstanding about
u woman, and Doran, it is said took re-
venge by entcing Whitfield into Il room
md shooting him dead without mo-
ment's warming. At the trial woman
with whom Doran was living went on
the stand and swore that the killing was
in self defense On her testimony the
murderer was acquitted. Doran left Ten
lessec soon after this episode and went
10 Malvern, Ark, where he and COM
Danion named Charley Sherman became
20 notorious that they were driven out of
,he State by order of the Governor. Sher-
nan was afterward killed at Durango
~ the marshal of the place, who was
trying to arrest him.
Doran spent several years in Texas,
where he was known as desperate.
While ut Denson he shot and killed n
police officer, for which he was arrested,
.ried and convicted. An appeal was taken
% higher court, and II new trial grant.
ID, but during the delay the principal
for the prosecution died or dis
appeared, and Doran again escaped pun
shment. The dastardly assault of Doran
md eight other rutlians on the Finn
'rothers at Hot Springs, Ark, three
ears ago, is still fresh in the memories

Christian Church Entertainment.

The dinner and supper at Opera Hall
on Thanksgiving day were for the pur-
pose of raising funds to buy an organ for
the Christian church at this place. A
charge of only twenty-five cents was made
for meal for a grown person. The net
receipts were about $500. About three
hundred persons took meals. The ladies
of the church made the preparations for
the entertainment, and conducted it.
They feel very thankful for the aattering
attendance, and the attendants can afford
to feel proud ofsuch splendidly- furnished
tables as they had the privilege of sitting
down to.
One of the features of the supper was
the selling at ten cents each of chances to
guess at the weight of cake. The cake,
as was learned later on, weighed lbs,
TX OF. Well nigh fifty persons guessed.
Geo. Sullivan and Ira w. Upshaw each
guessed lbs, OF. They gave it back to
the church, and the cake was afterwards
disposed Of at auction.

KENDALL CAUGHT.
Charged With Attempting *
Swindle the Railroad
COMPANY.

Monday evening Under Sheriff Escher
arrested in this place Arthur Kendall.
Wednesday afternoon Kendall had hear
ing before Justice Hutzel, and was bound
over to the district court in the amount
of $500. Kendall failed to furnish the
necessary bond, and Sheriff Baker took
him to the jail at Hays that evening.
Kendall is young man OF decidedly
easy-going habits. His parents live IN
the southwest part of Graham county,
and we pity them IN their evident Attic
ton growing oat of their sons arrest.
Young Kendall has worked in Wa-Kee-
new at different times. When G. b.
Smith stole that $1,000 express package
at the railway depo, this Kendall was
driving his hack between here and Mill
brook.
But this trouble of Arthur Kendalls
comes from the charge on the part of the
railroad company that he few weeks ago
sought to defraud them. Last summer
he was working at Mcpherson, Kansas,
in livery stable. When, some time last
September, he left there to come back
west, he is said to have checked one piece
of baggage to Salina and one piece to
Collyer. Afterwards he wanted the Sa-
lima baggage sent to Collyer. The agent
at Salina could not find it. He claimed
that Kendall had been there, and that, al
though not detected in the act, had evil
IDENTIFY taken the baggage Ga valise) away.
It is said that Kendall then made out a
bill of damages against the company,
claiming that he never had recovered the
valise, and that in it were goods worth
$3.50. Among the goods were telescope,
a field glass, two revolvers, several suits
of clothes, and so on. 1t is matter of
instant conviction with anybody that such
a pile of goods could not be crammed into
any ordinary-sized valise. The general
baggagemaster of this railroad came down
from Omaha to see about this case. He
had been to Salina, Collyer and out to
the home of Arthur Kendalfs father. At
the latter place valise was found, which,
in the theory of the baggagemaster, was
the one young Kendall had had checked
at Mcpherson for Salina. This valise
was at the preliminary trial at this place.
The Kendalls, of course, deny that this is
true. Several witnesses from McPher-
son and Salina were on hand to testify
that it is true.
F. Danford is employed by the railway
company to conduct the prosecution, and
S. r. Cowick handles the defense.

HE PAYS OUT.
DIR. Curtis Arrested for Manning an
Animal.

On the inst Under Sheriff Escher, &C
ompanied by A. E. Sigler, went to the
southern part of this county to arrest Dr..
Curtis, on a warrant sworn out by Moses
Langellier, for manning heifer belong
ing to Rassicot, son-in-law of the doc
tors. DR.. Curtis was not found at that
time. He was absent in Lane county.
Mr.. Fischer did bring DR.. Curtis to Wa
Keeney on Saturday last. The old gentle
man, sixty-seven years of age, paid the
costs, amounting to about $26 or S27, and
and the case was dropped.
His Offense consisted in having fred a
charge of mustard shot into the heifer,
because her owner would not keep her, as
we'll as certain other cattle, off his timber
claim.

Thanksgiving Eve Concert.

The concert given at Opera Hall
Wednesday evening by the Male-Quar-
tette Club was greeted by full house.
The singing and the instrumental music
were executed SO admirably that to give
due credit to each participant would be to
republish the program, and add that each
part was executed splendidly. The atten-
ton given by the audience was very close.
Applause and encoyes succeeded each
other with great regularity.
The precise amount Of the net profit OF
the entertainment is not yet figured out,
but Mr.. B. P. Blair tells us that it will
not vary much from $1,000.

100 to %.

The election on Wednesday, on the
question of voting $4,000 in city bonds to
be used in underground prospecting, re-
suited in the proposition carrying by a
vote of 100 for and % against. That no
excitement attended the election will be
plain when it is reflected that there are
upwards of 200 votes in the city.
In the nature of things, the work of
prospecting can not be begun for several
weeks, if before next spring. At all
events, time will have to be taken to se-
cure leases for tracts Of ground in which
to conduct the prospecting.
